If it sounds stupid, it might still be stupid, but how would I even know?

If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.

Disagree. Just because luck saved your ass doesn’t mean what you did wasn’t stupid.
Winning a round of Russian Roulette doesn’t make you a genius.

There is actually a difference between luck and something that may just work, despite seeming stupid. Using your example: I have to play Russian roulette today to randomly reduce workers - we removed the firing pin. I have to play Russian roulette tomorrow…

The original saying is “If it looks stupid but it works it’s not stupid.” There might even be a kernel of truth in there. But to quote the Maxims: “If it is stupid and it works it is still stupid and you’re lucky.”

This is why you try to filter out signifiers of credibility that are just word choices. What’s the actual idea being expressed, and what’s backing it up, that is what to pay attention to.
